Chilima to unveil ‘roadmap’ for UTM in fresh elections: Invades Masintha on Sunday
Almost three weeks after the Constitutional Court nullified the May presidential elections and reinstated him as State vice-president, UTM Party president Saulos Chilima holds his first political rally this Sunday February 23 at Masintha ground in Lilongwe city.
Both the party and Chilima’s press office have confirmed of the rally to take place at the Masintha ground in Kawale township, a venue that is known as a political barometer.
Described by many as a politician who controls the news agenda whenever he wants to speak, Chilima’s rally comes at a time when there is high expectation from the public to hear from him.
“Him and his team simply know when to do what. We have the social media discussing the MCP/UTM and DPP/UTM alliances, we have the DPP accusing him of being related to Judge Dingiswayo Madise, and it is three weeks since the court victory for him as first petitioner. So there was no right time than now for him to hold a rally. He has everyone’s attention,” said one social commentator.
Chilima is also expected to unveil the roadmap for UTM ahead of the court sanction fresh election by July 2 this year.
Meanwhile, UTM party has already gone flat out with rallies with the party’s deputy President Michael Usi, Secretary General Patricia Kaliati and various NEC members going different directions of the country holding rallies since the court nullified the election.
However, it is Sunday’s rally that people expect Chilima to comment on the seemingly public demand for him to partner with MCP’s Lazarus Chakwera in the fresh elections scheduled for July 2, 2020.
Since weekend MCP top officials including deputy speaker of parliament Madalitso Kazombo and several Members of Parliament have spoken publicly that the party wants to partner with UTM.
“Those who want to write must write and take this message that here in MCP the party we want to go into an alliance with is UTM,” says Kazombo in a clip trending on social media since Monday.
Whatever the outcome of who becomes the torch bearer in the alliance, Sidik Mia remains a casualty in the equation having already declared that he wants nothing but the second job in MCP.
In UTM, Usi also becomes a victim in the event of an alliance but the development activist has already come public that he has no issue UTM going into an alliance where he doesnt retain his running mate seat, saying his aim is to “help develop Malawi and not to have a position.”
As days fast approach to the July 2 polling day and the 50-plus-one electoral reform becoming law, an alliance is a must for all the parties to win the election and avoid a runoff. It is here that the nation stands to see lots of movements, backstabbing, and betrayal on the political landscape as the parties engage in political mathematics

MCP,kukankha Mia nde ka zanuizo
Chirima is a crook.He hides himself and puts others in front .He did it with the Catholics,Patricia,Shanil,Akazi a malemu.Kenako kungobvumbuluka zonse atakonza kale kale.MCP was clapping hands.It is now their turn.
Goodall was indeed right, politics does not need a baby tima baby tikufuna kuphatikizana if you are big parties imani pa nokha akukakheni APM
Nanga poti APM wakoyo ndi baby mapeto nkuona akunyengerera Atupele! Wat do you know! Mxiii
Nzeru ulibe kape iwe
Choncho munthu ungatutuke? Chilima is the only true hope. Whoever does not see that, they have serous nepotism problems.
Tiye nazoni
Kkkkkkkkkk,UTM woyeeee,SKC isn’t in a hurry to be a state president.
Pipo’S will ,will make him,now we want change a change that will make the real mzika realize whether he/she has been sleeping or not.
To me I hope Skc will take any position either a President of the coalition or the Veep,
All strategies are reserved for each position from ur mighty utm
if skc is president of the coalition I am definitely voting for his coalition. if he stands alone I am also voting for him. if he stands as VP of a coalition unfortunately I have to rethink because my opinion is the MCP will be too powerful and conservative for his opinion to be heard as VP. Just a personal view.
Perfect view bro. Chilima for president, Chakwera vice
Nothing has change. Too much ado about nothing. He is the same Chilima who got 4 MPs during last elections. Now wants to get into government through back door. We know that he did not win. Elections had challenges yes, but the final vote is what really happened.
Iwe mutu wako tiye uko
Common sense is indeed not common. Chisankho sichinayende bwino. Ngakhale utakhala kuti siiwe wa Chilima, it should come as common sense that if the elections were well managed, UTM could have had more MPs. COMMON SENSE! But when one is full of hate and nepotism, your reasoning is impaired so you use anything as a reason to justify your bad actions.
Road map to theft and blackmail!! How funny 2 weeks ago you were a dead/finished party! Last kicks of a dying horse!
I am still failing to understand why people still rate Chilima highly. The May 2019 elections said it all, Chilima was shown where he belongs. There is no way a party with 4 MPs can successfully campaign and win the presidential election. He needs the support of the MPs in constituencies. It will not be as easy as it was in 2019 where he was supported by his parliamentary aspirants who as at now are nursing their bruises from the 2019 defeat. Who is going to mobilize people in constituencies where he has no MPs?
mukunama abro yesu analankhula tsiku lina kuuza anthu kuti ngati sangalambire mulungu iye auza miyala kuti ilambire mulungu. kodi maganizo anu simaganizo amulungu ayi, kutereko u dont even kno that God can turn the hearts of people to vote fo him,, musamathe mau nkunyoza dikirani kumwamba nkumene kumasintha zinthu . muchedwa nkuweruza anzanu the bible says who are you to judge others.
Iwe tamakagona dzuwa silinakuwalile…. Uzikadya gondolosi uko
Arafat kukula mtima.
Nothing new here. Last time he did the same and nothing tangible happened He is good at making noise and also good at pulling large crowds but nothing positive comes out at the end of the day
mmmmm mukunama amwene for a party that is new to amass such kind of votes, its a big mile stone.
Ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ingonenani ngati alliance ikuvuta. Alipo sing’anga wina patsidyapa amakonza zimenezi.
Will he accept the position of a vice president again? Kutha kwa munthu. People who voted him many were from eastern and southern region who will never want to be under MCp because of their evil and blood shed under Kamuzu
DPP will get a chance of squeesing them by the neck and private parts. Mark my words. Whoever will vote MCp in the North is total fool and doesn’t know what MCP did to us Tumbuka people.
Kodi Munali ku Exile ? Nthawi ya Kamuzu positions were bases on Merit .Ask those who were in the Civil Service ….Ndipo ma bwana ambiri were from the North …..Ask those who are in the Civil Service Now if Merit is being Used ……….
ukunamatu. some.of us worked for the reserve bank in those times and mabwana anali achewa
Osabitsala mu dzina la Katoto. Ndiwe Cadet Mlakho iwe wapa Chonde. Ngati pali anthu amene anapindula nthawi ya Kamuzu anali ophunzira bwino who by chance a good number of them were from the north. What are you saying mbuzi iwe? Ngati makolo ako anabvutika ndiye anali akuba kapena akatangale chifukwa ndi zimene amadana nazo Kamuzu.
Welcome development
chilima president with chakwera deputising him will see a TKO for dpp. some choose to speak against such a rare combination knowing how powerful such a comb will do to the opportunists in dpp
Go alone. Each each and let’s see. No joining hands
UTM/MCP on the onset is the only sure way to dislogde DPP at the punch on the first jab
Chilima the hope of Malawi.He has sound mind komanso amatha kuulula mbava Muchipani cholamula.He hates corruption and bribes,he has good leadership skills.He emphasize on putting citizens first.He is a visionary leader.He will unite the people of Malawi. My vote is yours,u will make Malawi great.
i will enjoy the new political game………………………..
Saulos ingokhalani chete, pa rerun iyi palibepo chanu… Pena palipose akuyikani ngati runningmate. Inu muzatha ngati Chakufwa Thom chihana who was also popular on paper but a loser on the ground
The truth hurts but it’s true. This is between MCP and DPP. SKCs will never be heard as VP. We have seen it in history. not just in Malawi
Nzeru ulibe go back to school and make sure u get a job after that…. Uzibandanso kuti useguke maso kape
Sidik Mia and Michael Usi have no choice, but to bow down and give a room for Chakwera and Chilima to lead the MCP/UTM marriage, otherwise, there won’t do that marriage, and without it Malawi should expect to have DPP in government again. Which if it may be done according to the later, it will be meaningless the nine months fighting MCP and UTM had in the concourt; it is time for both to take out their pride that they can go into government without alliances. It is good that each one of them has tested his muscles in the just nullified election, the real truth is that they will lose without alliances. Both of them should not think of UDF because Atupere is just after his interests not Malawi, that is why he cannot stick to one part; DPP has wanted to use him for seeing that if he may be taken by MCP, APM shall lose come fresh election. If MCP and UTM, their agenda is to develop Malawi, then they must not go alone, but if their agenda is a name and their stomach then they don’t need this alliance.
